Like Ricky I don't know of any Maverick-specific kits, just stang kits. So you're saying that you're using a 302 block but need clearance for some massive headers? or is it 351 based?

: most kits you'll find are only for the early Stangs. The shock towers are pretty much the same. Big thing is use the proper thickness of metal, provide room for suspension travel, and weld up slowly to avoid wrapping metal.

: : We are looking at removing the shock towers from our 71 maverick grabber.
: : The engine is going to be a 355 stroker that needs header clearance for 558 hp it currently produces.
: : What kits have other people tried for this conversion?
